Be inspired by stories of discovery from Queen’s' researchers. Kristine Spekkens and Daryn Lehoux will tell their stories for a general audience, well suited for high-school students and curious adults alike.

Kristine and Daryn will give a short presentation about what inspired them to do their research. Each speaker will be joined by a student researcher in their team, with time for questions from our inquisitive audience with priority to questions from our younger participants.

Dr. Kristine Spekkens is a cross-appointed faculty member at Queen’s University and RMC and works with the world’s largest radio telescopes looking for cosmic gas and clues about the nature of how galaxies like ours form.

Prof. Daryn Lehoux is head of the Department of Classics and Archeology at Queen’s University and is interested in a variety of topics. In anticipation of the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8th, he will talk about how eclipses throughout history have contributed to humankind’s scientific knowledge.
